Room: Crystal Room

Floor: Third Floor

This session responds to the call to develop ideas and strategies that respond to “extraordinary times” in which we live and work in the context of national and international political tension, natural disasters, and internal law school changes. The dual goal of broadening clinical offerings to best serve community needs while simultaneously offering students sound pedagogical learning experiences is a challenge.

This challenge manifests itself in ways that are specific to the institution in which clinics operate, how clinics are funded, and what the capacity and nature of the legal work is. Our goal is to share ideas among the presenters of distinct clinical programs that responded to the changing external and internal climates and the larger group of attendees to learn new and alternative ways to respond.
